    Tech people: Yeah generative AI is pretty sweet, I think it’ll be a great way to augment our current workforce to increase our productivity. It’s doing some cool stuff now, but give it a few years to mature before fully committing though, let’s make sure it’s rock solid

    Business people: Fuck yeah let’s start the laayyyyyooofffffss

    (I’m happy to see NewsCorp lose money any day, but I’m just so tired of business people assuming they know how it all works)

          A thought — instead of doing worthless math, couldn’t it be something useful like protein folding? Remember Folding@Home? Or cancer research or something?

          I mean I know it’s probably too late, proof of stake bring replaced by that other thing (or was it the other way around?), and maybe the useless math was something that had to do with calculating the blockchain or whatever; I just don’t understand why someone couldn’t have come up with a way to make it have actual value.

          Or maybe they did and I just don’t know about it, honestly couldn’t be bothered to jump on the bandwagon.

              Shame the speculators can’t vote for something more useful with their money 😓 You’d think they’d have a moral interest in balancing the scales a bit, what with the money laundering pyramid scheme and all 😅 /s

          Modern crypto currency doesn’t have the same energy problems, if we can’t all agree on a common non government controlled currency howv will we ever break the generational control?

          Whats your solution?

          I don’t think the MBA-types care about the differences though. They just want to say new words that sound impressive to shareholders
